Sleepy Hollow State Park
RV Guide

The Sleepy Hollow Campground in the northeastern section of the park has 181 spacious and wooded campsites. The campground is separated into two loops. The North Loop has 100 sites and the South Loop has 81 sites. All of the asphalt camping pads can accommodate trailers and RVs up to 45 feet long. Each space has a fire pit and a picnic table, so you can cook and eat while enjoying the great outdoors.

There are 20- to 30-amp electrical hookups at every site but be aware that select spaces require extended cord lengths. When making your reservations, each site gives details on length restrictions and cord requirements, so you can know what you will need to camp comfortably. Campers have community access to hydrants, a dump station, modern restroom facilities, and a campground office. The tree-lined campground has a playground with horseshoe pits and a basketball and soccer area. Bring along your furry family members too, but don’t forget the leash.

If you feel like roughing it, check out the Rustic Campground in the northern corner of the park. The six walk-in campsites at the Rustic Campground are all more than 200 feet from the restrooms and water access. You will have to leave your RV in the parking lot and walk quite a ways to get to the campsites. They are just to the northwest of the cabins and have picnic tables and fire rings at each site.

That being said, site A is closer than the rest but is only for those with mobility issues. Site B is not too much further, site C is a bit further, and so on. Except for site F, which is way on the southwestern edge of Lake Ovid. For that site, you have to park and walk along the trail for about a mile, so pack lightly. Your furbaby can help you carry some stuff since they are allowed to come along for the fun. Reservations should be made in advance since there are only six of these spots and they go quickly, especially during the summer and on weekends and holidays.

If you were thinking of doing something different for your RV vacation to Sleepy Hollow State Park, maybe you would like to rent a cabin and leave the rig in the parking lot. There are two cabins just to the northwest of the campground. These are lakefront cabins where you can walk just a short way to the swimming beach. Each cabin sleeps up to six people and are ADA-accessible. However, one is more rustic and the other is modern.

The rustic cabin allows pets and is nestled in the woods with a picnic table, bench, and fire ring out in the yard. There are no utilities, but you have access to the restrooms and showers at the campground. The modern cabin is a bit larger and fancier with water and a restroom. It also has a picnic table, bench, and fire ring outside. However, this one does not allow pets. Reservations are needed and can be booked up to six months in advance.

If you have a large group or family gathering coming up, why not get a group campground so you can all stay in one area and spread out? This large campground has several vault toilets, five campfire rings spread out around the area, a potable water access hand pump, and room for up to 50 people. There are also five picnic tables, so you can all sit together and share a meal without having to balance it on your lap in a camp chair.

The group campground is off in its own area south of the southern loop of the main campground. There is also a picnic shelter nearby, and you will be within a short walk to the lake. Reservations can be made up to six months in advance, and pets are welcome but must be on a leash at least six feet long at all times.
